The world is pro-justice. At the moment, Israel's genocide and the long-term brutal occupation have caused anyone to pay attention to support Palestine.

    Watch the closing remarks, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttrJd2aWF-Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttrJd2aWF-Y it is short. And then the whole thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FryDCvI7YLo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FryDCvI7YLo https://web.archive.org/web/20240125185410/https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2024/01/11/who-is-the-irish-lawyer-arguing-for-south-africas-genocide-case-against-israel/ https://web.archive.org/web/20240125185410/https://www.irish...

      It's remarks by the plaintiff's attorney meant to elicit emotion. It includes zero context. Who died - were they militants with guns? Were they civilian casualties of war? No one knows. Just a bizarre connection between Bethlehem and Gaza. Bethlehem is not in Gaza. I am not sure what facts I am supposed to gather from this.

        Of course it was, those were the closing remarks. You can watch the full speech which gives you the argument spelled out. Or read South Africa's case https://www.icj-cij.org/case/192 https://www.icj-cij.org/case/192 Ms Ní Ghrálaigh's pedigree in addressing genocide is extensive, as mentioned in the linked article. One can only counter misdirection with facts. There is a Zionist genocide of Palestinians going on right now in Gaza.

          The court said no such thing. Don't spread misinformation.
          • nerpderp82 3y ago
            I didn't say that court said, "There is a Zionist genocide of Palestinians going on right now in Gaza." I did. My comment was asking you to read the original sources, you are twisting my words.

    Thanks for literally linking the Dictionary.com definition of "genocide", but what is the title of the article are you commenting on again?

  The world includes a lot of people and a lot of countries. Many of them strongly disagree with your characterization of what is happening as a genocide, including many of the world's democracies. You can think whatever you want about the conflict - but it is undeniablely wrong to say that "anyone paying attention" is supporting Palestine. (I also strongly disagree with calling it a genocide, btw.)

    It is a genocide regardless of public opinion.
